A Year Ago Today.....40 "Tea Parties" Everywhere, From Boston To Arizona Thanks to Rick Santelli's Rant

It's kind of "iffy" on the date exactly when this thing started other than to say the birth was on the floor of the Chicago Merc and Rick Santelli who may one day be an historic figure if we really turn this thing around and look back to see how close the abyss this country actually was (is)...

This was the post from a year ago with Santelli's call to arms and an article from WND covering all the Tea Party events that weekend last February 25-7th......

However his Mercantile Exchange Floor rant shown below took place on February 19th, and as a result, in less than 6 days these 40 large Tea Party Events were already taking place!!  Shocking the world that not everyone here thought Obama was a savior of anything other than more tax and spend liberalism than this country's ever seen!

I posted about the Chicago tea party taking place inspired by MSNBC's Rick Santelli I'll embed below so others who haven't seen the edited video below don't have to get to the next page to see it, but go here to see the event's time and date along with other information pertaining to the type of clothing to wear and the likes.



But now the idea has spawned many other parties per se, in cities from sea to shining sea including the site of the very first tea party of coarse in Boston Harbor that took place in Boston on December 16, 1773 which of coarse was a major catalyst for the Revolutionary war and who knows?

These 40 little gatherings may in fact be the catalyst that wakes up a slumbering liberal America to the traitor they elected for president that we all need to come together and reign in if not outright remove from office.

Join nearly 40 nationwide tea parties across U.S.:

WorldNetDaily...."Americans are saying enough is enough to extravagant government spending and throwing nearly 40 tea parties across the nation to protest.

Kellen Giuda, a laid-off architect, is organizing his own New York City tea party. He has invited several prominent guest speakers, including politicians, elected officials, an author, blogger, a bond trader and a former contestant on 'America's Next Top Model' to speak out against excessive government spending.

'I saw Rick Santelli's rant, live, and thought it was awesome,' he told WND. 'All of this fiscal irresponsibility is absurd.'

He continued, 'Then I started hearing about tea parties, and I decided to do it. It's really exciting. There are a lot of people getting involved now.'

As WND reported, CNBC analyst Rick Santelli became a YouTube sensation after he spoke out against President Obama's proposed $275 billion deficit-financed homeowner bailout plan and other massive spending measures with a call for a new 'tea party' from the floor of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange

Floridians Unite is looking down the road and planning an Orlando Tea Party for March 21.

"This will be a peaceful rally to unite our voices and express the love that we have for our great nation and the principles it was founded on," states the Floridians Unite website. "We want to make our politicians hear loud and clear that we are tired of the bailouts, the wasteful Washington spending and the push towards the socialization of this country! We want less government!

We want to decide where our hard-earned money goes instead of the elitist politicians in Washington taking it and using it to buy votes, doling it out to special interest groups and pork barrel projects! We want our constitutional rights preserved and protected, not trampled on!"

At the Pennsylvania Tea Party on April 11, organizers are inviting people to help them reenact the Boston Tea Party of Dec. 16, 1773, by bringing one tea bag each to Point State Park in Pittsburgh with plans of actually tossing the tea into the Alleghany, Monongahela and Ohio rivers.

"Somebody in our government needs to finally pay attention," said Fox News Channel host Glenn Beck on his radio program last week. "It is what I've been talking about that was coming for a very long time, and that is disenfranchisement, which will turn into anger and then turn into God knows what."

CNBC analyst Rick Santelli is hoping those demonstrations will result in real change.

During the televised segment where Santelli revived the term "tea party," CNBC panelist Wilbur Ross, chairman and CEO of WL Ross & Co., interjected, "Rick, I congratulate you on your new incarnation as a revolutionary leader."

"Somebody needs one," Santelli responded. "I'll tell you what, if you read our Founding Fathers, people like Benjamin Franklin and Jefferson, what we're doing in this country now is making them roll over in their graves.
